What is Trine’s Lifetime Guarantee?

The Lifetime Guarantee isn’t just a scholarship — it’s a four-part promise that answers the biggest questions students and families ask:

Will college be affordable year after year?

Trine University provides full-time undergraduate students on its Angola campus with a scholarship that grows with you.

  • Complete at least 32 credits in your first year with a minimum GPA of 2.75, and your merit award will increase by $500.
  • Complete at least 64 credits by the end of your second year with a minimum GPA of 3.00, and your merit award will increase by another $500.
  • Complete at least 96 credits by the end of your third year with a minimum GPA of 3.25, and — you guessed it — your merit award will increase by another $500.

What if something unexpected happens at home?

Trine University’s Office of Financial Aid will review the financial aid eligibility of any student whose family has experienced a significant impact to their finances. To see what circumstances apply, check out the Special Conditions Appeal Form.

Will I get a job?

All services offered by Trine University’s Office of Career Services are available to any full-time student or graduate of Trine University.

Is this education valuable long-term?

As a graduate of Trine University's Angola campus, you are welcome to return at any time to enroll in seated undergraduate courses on the Angola campus — at no cost* and for no credit. You’ll participate in course discussions, lectures, special presentations and classroom conversations.

 

*Cost of materials, books, travel, fees, etc. will be the responsibility of the individual student. Course enrollment is on a space-available basis.
